Dental implants are titanium anchors that are inserted surgically into jawbone. Small posts are then attached which provide stable anchors for the prosthetic tooth. The implant surgery is a two-step process:- The first step is when the implants are inserted into the jawbone. It takes around 3-6 months for the implant to bond with your jaw.
- The second step takes place after the jaw has bonded with the implant. An impression of your teeth is taken and then the posts are attached to your implants. These posts are what allow the prosthetic tooth to be attached.
